Amber Heard sued for ‘refusing to do n-de scenes’

Amber Heard is being sued for allegedly removing her own s-x scenes from the final edit of London Fields.

According to court records, the actress is being sued for $10 million for failing to provide her “acting services” as outlined in her original contract.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the picture has been stranded in limbo with no distributor since it was trashed and disregarded by most of the actors at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival, when it was previewed by a handful of critics.

She is being sued for breach of contract after working with director Matthew Cullen to adjust the final edit to eliminate some of the n-dity sequences and failing to promote the picture.

On Monday, Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner are said to have filed a 24-page complaint in Los Angeles against Heard for “refusal to comply with her contractual obligations”

She is accused of “failing to render acting services in conformance with the shooting script” and “conspiring with Cullen to make unauthorised, material changes to the shooting script” according to the complaint.

“Heard understood the nature of the role… and the tenor of the screenplay, which was salacious, provocative, and contained n-de scenes.”

‘Key scenes in the script had to be removed and/or rewritten to accommodate Heard’s behavior,’ because she eventually refused to film the n-dity.

The film’s producers, Nicola Six Ltd, also accuse Heard of sabotaging the film’s Toronto premiere, claiming that she ‘actively encouraged TIFF to pull the Picture from the festival at the 11th hour (which TIFF did), thereby creating a maelstrom of poor publicity and word-of-mouth and damaging, perhaps irreparably, the Picture’s reputation and salability’.

This is the third lawsuit filed in connection with the film. According to the Daily Mail, Cullen filed a $1 million lawsuit when the premiere, alleging that the producers had twisted his work.

The film had its initial press screening in 2015, and it was later dropped from the Toronto Film Festival due to the controversy.

He said Hanley and Gertner made such drastic alterations to the picture that he no longer recognized it as his own. He further claimed that he was never compensated.

Theo James, Jaimie Alexander, Jim Sturgess, Cara Delevingne, Billy Bob Thornton, Jason Isaacs, and Lily Cole all feature in London Fields. London Fields, directed by Matthew Cullen and based from Martin Amis’ highly acclaimed 1989 novel by Roberta Hanely, was Cullen’s directorial debut. The film stars Amber Heard as Nicola Six, a clairvoyant femme fatale who has been plagued by nightmares about her impending murder. She embarks on a convoluted love triangle with three men, one of whom she suspects will be her assassin.
